1) Follow the instructions on the Photo Upload page. You cannot do this until the day after you have registered for classes and your account is activated.

2) Email the PointCard Office (pco@uwsp.edu) from your UWSP student email account and request that a card be made. Please include your student ID# and indicate which campus you attend. Your initial card is made at no charge.

3) Your card will be sent to your campus library. It can take up to a week to arrive. Be sure to bring a government issued picture ID when you stop in to pick up your PointCard.

*If a card is not working due to normal wear and tear, or a legal name change is made with the Registrar's office, a new card can be obtained at no charge provided that the old card is turned in to the PointCard Office at the time of making the new card. Either visit our office on the UWSP main campus or mail the old card and a note explaining your situation to:

Proper care of your PointCard

• Do not bend or punch holes in your card. Doing so will damage the embedded chip and antenna.

• Protect your card! Do not scratch it, wash/dry it in laundry machines, or expose to magnets or extreme heat.

• Do not share your card. You are liable for all activities authorized by your card.
